Original Charge: • Address communications concerns raised in the Higher Learning
Commission’s accreditation report.
– “TCC is a rapidly changing and innovative institution, and for its new programs, initiatives, policies and ideas to be effectively implemented and communicated to students and the community at large, the college administration must examine its internal organizational structures, training policies, and communications to empower front-line employees to provide the service excellence that the institution seeks to achieve.”
Revised Charge: • Address communications concerns raised in the Higher Learning Commission
and incorporate goals and objectives of the Strategic Plan.

![Page 6: January 18, 2012 Administrative Council Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813b33550346895da3fee5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Task Force Actions – The Task Force developed and conducted an internal survey
focused on communication to gain a better understanding of employee’s perceptions regarding communication with TCC. The survey was conducted in the spring of 2010.
– During the work of the Communications Task Force, the College
also began work on a Strategic Plan. For a period of time, the Task Force was also charged with looking at external communication, but later returned to its primary focus – internal communication.
– Developed a set of Core Beliefs to guide the Task Force’s planning.
![Page 7: January 18, 2012 Administrative Council Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813b33550346895da3fee5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Core Beliefs– Effective communication is essential to the continued success of TCC, – Effective communication is the responsibility of all employees – both in terms of
originating communication and receiving communication,
– Timely communication is critical to ensure the right people have the right information at the right time,
– TCC has appropriate means or vehicles for effective communication, but we don’t
always use them well or in a timely manner, and – Individual, departmental and committee communications planning rather than a
comprehensive plan administered by one person or committee would be the most effective approach to ensuring constructive communications within the college.

Communication Task Force Outcomes:Action: Conduct college wide survey of all employees to
determine level of satisfaction with current communication methodologies and mediums.
Overview: In general, there was a positive opinion of TCC’s
efforts to communicate with its employees. Areas with lower ratings included: communication with part-time staff; communication on budget issues; communication to and from students; and communication between different campuses and locations.

time and 22 percent part-time). Areas with strongest agreement (60 percent or more):• Supervisor communication is positive • TCC administration needs to take more responsibility to
improve communication• TCC employees need to take more responsibility to stay

Recommendation 1:Bi-annual communications survey to determine
areas of improvement, need or significant trend change. First survey completed by the Communications Task Force will be considered a baseline for ongoing comparison and monitoring with each survey following.

Action: Task Force Developed Communications Planning Form
Overview: As a result of Task Force discussion, decision was made to develop a communication model that would be fluid, practical and required of all supervisors, areas and leaders rather than comprehensive, perhaps easily outdated and the responsibility of one individual or a small group. The model was to require
1) encourage communication as a policy or application to all college planning
2) bi-annual assessment on communication research 3) implementation of a Communication Planning form that
would allow individuals and areas to incorporate communication into their planning.

Recommendation 1: Develop a Communication Planning Form for all Supervisors
Recommendation 2: Introduce Communication Planning Form at Administrative Council Meeting with instructions and support and follow up evaluation.
Recommendation 3: Expansion of “Game Plan” projects form to
include support for materials identified in the Communications Planning Form.

Recommendation 4: Expectation that new policies or procedures for employees or students that are to be introduced require a Communication Planning Form as part of its implementation.
Recommendation 5: Task Force or Team formed to develop a stronger portal for college wide communications within the framework of the software owned or to be owned in the future by the College and including collaboration with IT.
Recommendation 6: Develop a Communications Committee as a
sub-committee of the Operations Council
